Sweet Mother Mcrea.. its like pulling a 1000 lb stone through the mud

But you do it. Va and Pa went to the republicans. Not happy about it, but time to dig in. We are not getting our people out. Most Democrats do not sit in chat rooms and talk politics.. they are on the front lines working or looking for work.

Presidential elections are easier to get our people juiced and moving. But mid-terms, and especially off years has always been a tough slough for us, as long as I have been around.

1. You haven't been watching cable chatter have you?

[Peacetrain]

2. Nope..not watching it today.. vultures are not a pretty site

[phantom power]

3. Plus, you know, the Dems haven't exactly been beacons of voter inspiration.

An economic stimulus about 1/2 the size estimated to be required, a watered down HRC package, escalated war in Afghanistan, and continued bankster bailouts.

Wow, that'll bring 'em to the polls.

7. Yep

[depakid]

12. Not to mention a joke of a credit card bill

and NO ONE held accountable for their abuses- not torturers nor bankster and fraudsters- not even Peanut Corp, whose CEO and management is on record in writing flaunting health and safety laws- and making false statements to regulatory officials, all the while knowingly causing thousand of Americans to become violently ill- and killing more than a few of them.

Not exactly inspiring.

4. I just woke up. What happened in PA? n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. most of them that I called had flu

in VA about 3/4 of them were too sick - I am not making excuses but I hear you loud and clear.

6. Democrats score big in local races across Pa.

8. Good news indeed. :^)

[AllentownJake]

10. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown

There is no Republican Party in those municipalities..

:rofl:

9. In spite of Creigh Deeds running a bad

campaign, we should have taken charge and get him to change his tone on taxes and
PO, so we are to blame some too, complacency is to blame thinking that we still
have the young voters etc.

if we don't start now, this complacency will creep in and 2010 will become a disaster.

11. All not lost in NJ and Dems score big across PA.

Virginia seems in a sucky situation, though.
